There's Nothing Weirder Than Normal Weird Al

Jul 17 2014 - 8:16am

Weird Al Yankovic has been taking over the Internet this week with all his wild, wacky music videos, but what's really wild is seeing Weird Al being, well, completely normal. Back in 1998, he changed up his look and went acoustic in a promo for a fake MTV special [1], saying, "I've decided to get back to the core of what I'm all about. That's always been the music." Cue a hilarious acoustic performance of "Eat It," Weird Al's classic parody of Michael Jackson [2]'s "Beat It." Watch the weirdly normal version of Weird Al above, then check out his brand-new music videos for "Foil," [3] "Word Crimes," [4] and "Tacky." [5]
